There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

WOLF PHOTOGRAPHED IN A DUTCH NATIONAL PARK

This report made a few headlines here and there. A wolf was spotted and photographed in a national park. There's no question it is a wolf, most probably with a German passport.

It shows that some parts of our country are recolonized by wolves. The reason is more forest and more opportunities. 

Over here, we have a bit of forest, a few national parks and decent conditions for wild boar and deer. As we don't have large carnivores, many young animals make it to adulthood. The result is overpopulation. Hunters need to kill deer every year.

There was an attempt to debate reintroducing a few medium-sized carnivores (lynx and wolf) not so long ago, but it was abandoned as a result of fierce opposition.

Maybe there is no need for a debate. I read a few reports about a lynx seen in the south and reports about wolves are not uncommon anymore. Carnivores don't like debates, but opportunities. Same for birds of prey. Goshawks are nesting very close to Amsterdam.

The report is in Dutch:
